Mozambican artisans in the northern Nampula Province hand carve these simple yet elegant ring boxes from the heartwood of the mpingo tree, a beautiful species that grows throughout the miombo woodlands. Revered as a tone wood used in the world's finest woodwind instruments, mpingo's lustrous finish and deep color imbue it with a quality of exotic preciousness.
This box serves beautifully as a unique ring gift box that can be treasured for years for storing precious items.
